"Weekend of a Champion" will appeal mostly to motor-racing enthusiasts and movie archaeologists.

Polanski and Stewart reunite at the film's end to reminisce, but it's the original footage that thrills.

...fascinating insight into the mind of a champion at the height of his powers...a don't-miss film, even if you're not an auto racing aficionado, which I'm not.

Not a fan of Sir Jackie, but I can sit thru hours and hours of Formula 1 documentaries.
